[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] libove:
One of the first things I did on buying my new Galaxy Tab 2 7" (GT-P3100, Wi-Fi and 3G; Spanish market "PHE" identifier, came with ICS 4.0.3, no updates available either through Kies nor OTA) was to encrypt the Device. It worked.

Then I rooted the device with CF-Auto-Root, which had the side effect of performing a factory reset, and as I understand it from a brief conversation with the author of (the excellent!) CF-Auto-Root this was an expected side-effect of the device having been encrypted at the time of applying CF-Auto-Root.

So, the Tab 2 is back to un-encrypted.

Here are the details:

Android 4.0.3

Baseband version 3.0.8-CL448962-user dpi@DELL161 #1

Build number IML74K.P3100XWALD2

But now I'm trying to encrypt again (either/both the SD Card and the Device itself) and I'm having no success at all.

On trying to encrypt the SD card, each time it always returns "SD Card Encryption Error" within a few seconds. (And indeed thereafter I always get a Notification about "SD card encryption error" any time the SD card is mounted by the device). If I go back to Settings -> Security -> Encrypt SD card and select to decrypt the card (even though it's not really encrypted), then I can access the SD Card again - no damage was done (and no encryption either).

If I try to encrypt the Device, I get the black background with the large green outline android, and ... nothing. The green android on the black background just stays there. After the normal screen timeout, the screen goes completely blank; I tap the power button, get the usual unlock screen, unlock it, see the green android again ... and, nothing. If I rotate the tablet, the android rotates. If I tap the power switch, I get the silent/ flightmode/ reboot/ turnoff menu. But nothing will get me back to the normal user interface, and it never finishes encrypting (I really think it never starts).

Eventually (after more than a couple of hours) I give up, tap the power switch and select to reboot, and it comes back up fine, but not encrypted.

One of my main reasons for getting the newer device was to have encryption :-/

Is Encryption (Device, and SD Card) supported/ functional when CF-Auto-Root is in use on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (Android 4.0.3)?

How do I get encryption to work, for both the Device and the SD Card?

Is there a way to get more detailed logging (the Tab is rooted, and I have command line access) and/or to command the encryption from the command line, to see what's really happening?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] libove:
Hm, I tried encrypting only NEW files on the SD Card now, and that seems to work.

I stored a new file on the SD Card, unmounted the card from the Tab, put the card in a card reader on a desktop computer, and indeed the contents of that file are just "data", not readable. Back in the Tab, the contents are the picture which I'd saved to the card.

But still attempting to encrypt the existing files on the SD Card fails. And still attempting to encrypt the device does nothing (green android appears, but no % complete ever displays, etc, just as I posted before).
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] libove:
One step further with the external SD Card; I copied off all of the data, formatted the card, and then was able to fully encrypt it (and copy back my data).

But the Device itself, I still can't encrypt at all - just the same as before.

No ideas? None? Nobody? Please....?

Thanks,

-Jay

Bump?

sigh :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihaidenis:
Try the same thing with the device itself.

Do a factory reset.

Not once,twice.

I know u lose all data.

But try it.

And do this without android to start.

Keep press power+vol up.

Get into menu and do factory reset,wipe dalwik...all.

Hope this help.

Did u solve the problem?

i have the same problem
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] libove:
This was over a year ago, and I don't even use the device anymore. Sorry, can't help.

I've since then tried a ZTE "Skate Pro" (the Movistar Spain branding of the "Blade III"). Piece of Sh*t phone. Support encryption natively under Android 4.0.4, but if you do encrypt the phone, the performance of the touch screen becomes unreliable, frequently so bad that swiping (including Swyping) actions don't work right, and you end up less moving things on the screen and more, effectively, tapping things you absolutely did not intended to tap. I discarded the ZTE Skate Pro/ Blade III.

Then I tried a Haier W708, dirt cheap; not a powerhouse, but satisfatory.

And a Nexus 5 which kicks *ss all over the place.

I can't help any more with this thread, and any results in this thread would not longer help me, so I'm dropping off the thread now.

Best of luck to all.

[LG Optimus 2x] rvrosa:
This is a straight answer and for sure i get different opinions...

Well, i have a chance to buy a P990. But when i see a top phone with low prices i suspect something is very wrong with it... and low prices are not only for the phone i found, is to all P990, so the problem should be with all of them...

Can you please tell me if this is good or bad phone? Battery, wifi, calls, android version...

If i compare this phone to samsung galaxy ace or ace2 or w, which one to choose?

Thank you all.
[LG Optimus 2x] Jishnu Sur™:
Hahah look at the phones you qre comparing it to..lol :D it's a phone of galaxy S2 class..it's unbrickable and is one of the best phones till date..
[LG Optimus 2x] azharshaikh7866:
Galaxy s2>>o2x>>>galaxy s >>> ace
[LG Optimus 2x] Jishnu Sur™:
What i feel is S2=O2X>S>ace..
[LG Optimus 2x] rvrosa:
And what android? Is ICS working good?

Or should use some customs roms? Are they easy to install?
[LG Optimus 2x] Jishnu Sur™:
You should thank the dev who made it much much more easier to do anything with this device "spyrosk" :)
[LG Optimus 2x] BS86:
the P990 is like heaven if you want to try custom roms :)

Even if you manage to brick it, just install a Stock-Rom with NVflash, and it is back alive in 95% of all brick-situations. The only way to destroy it is the hardware-side, like smacking it with a sledgehammer ;)

Very large user base all over the world, and a wide bandwith of CustomRoms that run stable and nearly bugfree.

The official ICS-Stock-Rom is also running pretty good with it :) But if you ever used a custom rom, or tried one once, you never want to go back to stock on any device ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] rvrosa:
When I ask about ICS is because I've seen some posts where users say that ICS update for this device comes with some bugs and that was worst than previous version.

But when I see all yours answers I believe that this is good phone and good choice.
[LG Optimus 2x] _dabla_:
Exactly, i think that it is S2=O2X>>>S>>>Ace, too.

Btw rvrosa, ICS is working quite good, CM7 is perfect (but oldie if you had tried JBo ICS xD) and devs are working hard to give us a good experience with 4.2.1 and 4.1.2... and yes, it is very easy to flash any rom, and its really hard to brick this phone (someone said 95% of briks are back alive? Well, i think its 99% of them :'D).
[LG Optimus 2x] BS86:
I am running on ParanoidAndroid 2.5_2 by tonyp right now, which is CM10-based Android 4.1.2, and it feels stable ;) I would recommend it to everyone for everyday-usage ;)

Same is true for pengus77's CM10-Version for the new BL, it runs great :)
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
Fully agree with this opinion and heartiest feeling

O2X with Magical ICS ROM and magnificent kernels from my buddies
[LG Optimus 2x] rvrosa:
I will, I will... but first let me get the phone lol

by the way, as this is a used phone should i check anything in particular?

In case i get a locked phone, is it easy to unlock?
[LG Optimus 2x] Crazy32:
AW: [Q] LG P990 any good?

It's a good Phone, But only with a Customizing ROM like XM 10 from pengus77

Gesendet von meinem LG-P990
[LG Optimus 2x] BS86:
i think there are no real locked P990 out, are there?

they only are nation- or provider-linked for official updating, but there are really easy ways to change that ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Jishnu Sur™:
And You can also experience S3 with Opti-Thrust 1.2 which will be released on 24th :)
[LG Optimus 2x] oktagun:
welcome to optimus 2x world.

compare to my friend Sony xperia P :

performance is absolutely win... xperia P laggy.... optimus 2x smooth... best for gaming

display : well, xperia P is the winner. because "bright pixel" . but, the optimus 2x display is not bad. for me, its good enought :D

body : xperia P is win. smaller, thinner . never mind...

ram : xperia P. oh come on... ram expander is everywhere. who's need big ram XD

i choose optimus 2x because its performance and for gaming experience :D
[LG Optimus 2x] rvrosa:
Well... at the end i didn't bought the LG... found a good deal and decided for HTC ONE X.

Thank you all.
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
If you get a locked phone, regardless of brand or carrier, it is easy to unlock - just identify the original carrier it was locked to, get the IMEI, submit that info plus $8 to cellunlocker.net, then boot the phone with any other SIM inside, and enter the code :)

Good job on getting the One X, great buy and way better than the P990... I like my P990 but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone in 2013, even those on a budget, since the better models from late 2011/early 2012 would be at a decent price by then.
[LG Optimus 2x] rvrosa:
No... the phone is unlocked from factory :)

Was in different language but when i put my sim card he asked me if want to import my sim card configurations or something like that and... guess what? I get the phone in my language lololol

I've bought it very cheap for that reason and for some small scratches. The only ones that i have some scare are in the front of the camera... the worst case scenario is i have to change the phone case, but i don't think this scratches affect pictures as they are in side and not in the middle.

So far very happy with it :victory:
[LG Optimus 2x] Mystiv2:
Hi,

I got this phone after i sold my 3GS.I really enjoyed the extra core and the hdmi out(i even sold my htpc as i didnt need it anymore!)

but missed the smoothness and attention to detail of the ios.

Having said that it took me 5 days of reading to jailbreak the iphone and around 10 minutes to root the 2x.

I kept it stock because life is short and i didnt want to loose warranty.

I agree with the friend who said its a galaxy s2 class phone.I was considering the s2 ass well but the lg had a better bang for a buck at the time.

IMHO there is nothing wrong with it except for the never ending progress of technology,its just not top dog anymore.
[LG Optimus 2x] oktagun:
@^ : try CM9/10 rom... and feel the best smooth from optimus 2x :D
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
Try CM10 or CM10 based ROM and you get that same smooth OS like you get with the iPhone (I left out CM 10.1 and ROMs based on CM 10.1 because they still have some bugs). ROMs based on stock ICS are pretty smooth too, although not iPhone smooth. :P
